It should be no problem for the Harvard guards to loft the ball into the Johnson sisters on the blocks for turnarounds and lay-ups. Melissa Johnson is currently ninth in the country with 11.4 rebounds per game.

Albany, which is riding a three-game losing streak, has a 62-51 win over Brown under its belt but fell 66-50 to Holy Cross. The Crimson, which is riding a three-game winning streak and a six-game home winning streak, has a 73-64 win over Brown, but suffered an 89-61 setback to Holy Cross. Earlier this season, Albany went through a dismal nine-game losing streak, going 0-for-December in the process.

The lengthy exam break gives the Harvard men's hockey team enough

tough to relax, unwind, and lose its competitive edge right before its most important games of the regular season.

The Crimson (7-10-1, 6-6-1 ECAC) finds itself in seventh place in the ECAC, .05 win-percentage points out of a three-way tie for fourth place. Before plunging back into conference play, it will take on the University of New Brunswick (11-8 Atlantic University Athletic Association) in an exhibition game.

Traditionally, Harvard has used this match to regain its skating legs

And give some of its little-used players some ice time. Roster rules have been relaxed in the past, and last year Harvard dressed five forward lines.
